Arts of the Kingdom

       No idea where to take your beloved mother to on Mother's Day today? Visit "The Arts of the Kingdom V" exhibition at the Ananta Samakom Throne Hall, Dusit Palace.
       FROM LEFT - The Gold Niello Bhudthan Throne - The Sri Suphannahongse Royal Barge - The Gold Damascene Bhudthan Throne.
       The exhibition features exquisite but rarely seen traditional Thai crafts that reflect decades of work initiated under the Support Foundation (Supplementary Occupations and Related Techniques) of HM the Queen.
       The highlights include a model of the Sri Suphannahongse Royal Barge, Busabok Chaturamook Bhiman Throne, the Gold Niello Bhudthan Throne, the Gold Damascene Bhudthan Throne, Sivikakarn (covered palanquin), an embroidered Himavan Forest Screen and an octagonal-shaped room decorated with beetle wings.
       The exhibition is free (on Mother's Day only) and is open to the public and is open from 10am to 6pm. Appropriate attire is required.
       Call 08-1904-1000.
